Welcome

These reflections are a result of more than 40 years of ministry as a Roman Catholic priest. Most of these years I spent in the Diocese of Charlotte which covers Western North Carolina. Now I am retired, and live in Medellín, Colombia where I continue to serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Medellín.

Saturday, Week XVI, Ordinary Time—Saint Sharbel Makhlūf, priest, July 24

The slaves of the householder came to him and said,
‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field?
Where have the weeds come from?’ (Mt 13:24-30)

Yes, where do the weeds come from? We of course would like to be the one who get to weed the garden. Perhaps the owner of the garden knows best. Saint Sharbel is probably the most famous Lebanese monk ever.
